Dodgers playing with too much complacency. Same thing happened to the Warriors.

Plus, the bullpen still sucks.

Except Bogut was injured for games 6 and 7 (completely changing their interior defense), Green was suspended for game 5 and Iguodala played with a hurt back in games 6 and 7 (primary defender of LeBron).

No IL/suspension issues and they're pretty healthy, just not living up to their potential. Not over until the fat hermana sings too.

I was way off with my Dodgers in Five prediction. Good series so far!

Overly reliant on home runs, poor defensive play, making rookie pitchers look like cy young...omg they've turned into the Yankees lol.

That’s a lot of Lexcuses!

So how many Ohtani chargebacks are we going to see?

As was I.

This series is teaching Dodgers fans some humility!

fabiani12333 · 10-29-2025, 11:13 PM

No way this doesn't go at least 7 games, right? Would the Dodgers lose three games in a row and be finished off with their best pitcher on the mound?

If they have any respect for the United States and Japan, they will at least make it hard on the Canadians to put them away.

fabiani12333 · 10-29-2025, 11:22 PM

Even the M's made it a full 7-game series against the Jays in the LCS.

Do not dishoner your homeland.

The Dodgers might need to bring samurai swords with them to Toronto just show what's at stake.

Do not dishonour your homeland but bring in 29 Japanese players.

It is. Another gentlemen on this forum suggested that previous comments I made were done so out of complete spite and "butt hurt" and he was absolutely right. I'd still like to see Vladdy Jr. take better care of himself to stay relevant in the league longer, but he's currently killing it and potentially leading his team to a WS title.

fabiani12333 · 10-29-2025, 11:38 PM

The older Dodger bats might be fatigued -- Freeman, Betts and Ohtani played the entire 18-inning game and followed it up with 2 more games without a day off.

A day off before game 6 could help -- give the bats some time to reset, at least. Yamamoto should keep the game close enough to win if the lineup scores some runs.

Ohtani has been feast-or-famine this postseason, so it's probably time to feast again.

premium1981 · 10-30-2025, 06:19 AM

Loving this World Series. Toronto will be rocking Friday night. Yamamoto is a beast and I expect him to shut them down and then have a Game 7 that will be epic. So many great moments already in this series. Next week will be sad when baseball is all over.

BoSoxFan1999 · 10-30-2025, 07:02 AM

Who does Roberts trust in the bullpen aside from Sasaki? I have a feeling Yamamoto may not get the hook unless he's approaching 120 pitches. Snell threw 116 last night I believe.

IF the Dodgers can force a game 7, I would expect we'll see several starters coming in for relief (Yamamoto might even be an option) and I won't be shocked if Ohtani gets called to pitch in relief either. Might see his Dodger debut in the OF if that's the case. Lol

Ohtani coming in the bottom of the 9th to close out the Jays and clinch the WS....what would the price spike on his cards be then. =O

While I would love to see that for my son's sake, they still have to face Yamamoto.

If Vlad pulls a Joe Carter and walks him off, what will that do?

I guess Schneider didn't need to start intentionally walking Ohtani after all. 0 - 7 with 3 Ks, 1 walk, and a pitching loss after his great Game 3.

Dude is tired carrying the team on his back with Yama.
The day off may help the geezer Dodgers more than the Jays.

He's had 3 great/good games in the playoffs out of 15. In the other 12 games he's 6/44, .136.

He's gonna need to flip the GOAT mode back on for the Dodgers to have a chance.

Agreed. I think they (Dodgers) win game 6 though

My sentiments exactly. 100% agree on everything said above.

I find it kinda weird that Yesavage at 22 years old started the season in single A and worked up to AAA and has now set World Series records as a rookie ... Ks ... Ks without a walk ... Was he on anyone's radar? ... I hope he can be like this during the regular season next year ...

Yes he was high up on most pitching prospect lists along with Painter and Burns.
